    What to Consider About Assisted Living in Fort Morgan

    With its low cost of living, world-class healthcare facilities and 77 acres of public parks, it's no surprise that Fort Morgan ranks among the best places to retire in Colorado. An estimated 11,281 people choose to make their homes in Fort Morgan, including more than 1,400 seniors aged 65 and older. To serve those seniors who need a little extra help with daily tasks to maintain their independence, Fort Morgan offers two assisted living communities. The state of Colorado licenses these facilities as Assisted Living Residences

    Qualifying seniors in Fort Morgan may be able to get public financing for assisted living services through one of two Medicaid waivers offered in Colorado. One is the Community Mental Health Supports Waiver, and the other is the Elderly, Blind and Disabled Waiver. Not all assisted living residences can accept the waivers as payment, so it's important to ask whether a prospective facility is certified to receive Medicaid reimbursement. Colorado also offers an Optional State Supplement for seniors who receive Supplemental Security Income
